You are missed Lenny Joyner "NY10570" REST IN PEACE! Excellent choice for Member of the Month.

Lucas 2 CPR device works pretty well. I will STRESS one thing.... TRAINING!!!!! If you can't set it up and use it correctly in a classroom then out in the field it will be a cluster......and you will look totally UNPROFESSIONAL.

Information is FALSE. WCPD Aviation is very active and constantly assisting other jurisdictions by monitoring various PD/FD radios and upon request. Recently they were assisting Yonkers with a Crime In Progress over the weekend. Patroling the MTA Metro North Hudson R/R Line all week for Operation Safeguard including numerous other inspections all transmitted over WCPD radio. They had a Water Rescue in March assisting New Rochelle PD. http://newrochelle.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/county-aviation-unit-rescues-wind-surfer-on-long-island-sound Reach out to Vincent Antonecchia who is the Commanding Officer of the WCPD Aviation Unit. I am sure he can clear up any "rumors"

I have to agree it sounds like some other reason(s) the FD or City wanted this guy gone. It's not uncommon for Firefighters to have Medical Issues including Cardiac but he was let go over ONE incident? Hmmmmm It's important for ALL of us... Volunteer or Career to stay in shape and get annual physical exams including full lab work up and EKG. Stay on top of any Medical Issues. IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Thank you.

Happy Birthday In Heaven KJB #20 Rest In Peace Brother!

Incredible..... WOW! Kudos to Houston FD!

I would like to say CONGRATS to one of our own x4093k. Brendan Porteus recently became a member of the Somers Fire Department. Good luck... BE SAFE!

Yes. WCPD ESU was the "25 Car" (most of the time) which covered Grasslands, etc. Very easy to jump on the Parkways from that area. For a while ESU operations stopped. I can only assume maybe due to budget cuts, etc. ESU went back into service a few years ago as "Truck 1", "Truck 2" etc. WCPD SOD/ESU is very much active today. It's great to see them back!

AMEN!

I'm really at a loss for words. Kevin was a Gentle Giant who would do ANYTHING for you. A lot of family, friends and brother Firefighters are hurting right now but.... I know you are at peace with your Dad in heaven. GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!!! PFD # 20

Here is a preview of the movie NON-STOP with Liam Neeson. Movie will be out in February 2014. Engine 626 is featured in the movie. Perhaps a close up of it's Chauffeur also PREVIEW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUTeLcL3CnY Movie Profile on IMDb:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2024469/ My Profile on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5943466 Engine 626 was lettered SLOKKVILID because one of the scenes takes place in Iceland. Also "112" is the 911 for Iceland. http://www.slokkvilid.is/en ENJOY! I look forward to seeing the movie.

You will see Engine 626 in several shots near the end of the movie. In one shot they actually cloned the Mack so it appears to be two of them in the shot. I'm pretty impressed they could do that. Production Crew asked me to make a lot of noise and so I did.... You will hear the Federal Q, Air Horns and my FS Touchmaster on Yelp while responding in.

Social Media such as Facebook has become very popular and sometimes a quick way to get information out. EMTBravo will be launching a Incident Alert Group on Facebook very soon. More information to follow.

Progress....

GBFD109, Thank you for taking the time to post updated and correct information here on EMTBravo! If the members of EMTBravo can do anything for GBFD please let us know.
